Minbya (Mongbra) (Burmese: မင်းပြားမြို့, pronounced [mɪ́ɰ̃bjá mjo̰]) is a town in Rakhine State, in the westernmost part of Myanmar (Burma). It is located along the Lay Myo River and foothill of Kyein Range. Kyein Taung Pagoda is one of the prominent Pagoda in Rakhine State. Ramaung Bridge is also well-known. Minbya is convenient in transportation as Sittwe-Yangon high-way road lies near Minbya. Ga Rim Gian is a nice place to visit with the pleasant sights.
The education of Minbya (Mongbra) is fairly good. There are three high schools: BEHS 1,2,3 which are the main academic bodies of town. Many primary and middle schools persist. On the other hand, there were no place for English Language study and computer training before 2014. In 2014, Buddhist monks who are also scholars at various universities of India opened a center for young students called TheLight Of Mizzima. The center offers computer and English courses for one year and provide scholarship for outstanding students. Having say that, there are still many things to be developed.
